Achane to IR Highlights Series of Dolphins Moves
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins placed running back De'Von Achane on injured reserve and waived defensive tackle Keith Cooper Jr., while releasing edge defender Clelin Ferrell and defensive lineman Jordan Miller from the practice squad.
- These moves created two openings on the 53-man roster, likely to be filled by a running back, with Jarquez Hunter favored to be promoted from the practice squad.
- Coach Jeff Hafley expressed confidence in the current running backs on the roster and practice squad but did not rule out signing an outside running back.
- Ferrell, who appeared in three games via practice squad elevation, made minimal impact and is unlikely to be signed to the active roster.
- The Dolphins now have three interior defensive linemen on the active roster and four on the practice squad, with linebacker Kenneth Grant eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 5.
